Even after the hair ties had dried off, they retained the original non-stretched out shape. :O

The elasticity does last for quite a bit after using the hack, although we're not quite sure how long exactly. But it certainly worked to bring the hair ties back to life within seconds!

You can also get similar results with a hair dryer, but this hack is likely a quicker method.

Just be sure to leave your hair ties in the boiling water for only a few seconds though!

At this point, why are we all even going to college? D:
